UNICEF representative in the country, Ms. Jean Gough has said that 10.5 million children in Nigeria were out of school, adding that the situation was worsening with the insecurity situation in the north.
Gough, however, said that the situation was unacceptable, as, according to her, available resources were enough to put them in school.
“The problem is children cannot wait. So we have to intervene for them at the appropriate time or we lose them.”
She spoke at the Children’s Day celebration in Abuja.
The Universal Basic Education, UBE, Gough emphasized had committed quite a lot of funds in this regard.
